" and e, respect1ve1y,-.for apurpose which w ll presently appear. 'Thelo'yversash 5. and up- .per sash 6 are slidably mounted in the, Window frame 1,j and,,are connected to their, counter thin top and bottom members 12 and 13, re

with the ends of the frame members 11, and

are provided with angular terminalsll which are arranged in recesses 15 formed in the I frame members 11. The frame members 11,

3O H Y wh ch are recessed m't'o thefr-ames andR-se.

12 and 13, are secured together by screws 16 or other suitable fastening elements which pass through the frame members 12 and 13 and theirangular terminals 14 and enter the frame members 11. Metal stop and weather strips17 are secured against the'outer faces of the frame members 11' by screws 18 or other suiable fastening elements. The strips 17 extend from the lower to the upper ends of the frame members 11, and they extend laterally be ond the opposing faces of these frame mem ers and are provided alongtheir extended vertical edges with ribs 19 which are arranged within the main frames 8and are of V-form in cross section. The cords, Tare secured to the frame members 12 as at 7-.

The auxiliary frames 9, which, carry the glass panels 20, are made from wood, and the side members21 and. the top and bot tom members .22 and 23, respectively, thereof are secured togetherg the usual mortise andgtenon joints.- These; frames are rein; forced at theircorners by angle irons 14;

fastening elements. I

The.aux1'11ary frames 9 have a.;snug n cured thereto by'screws, 25 1 themain frames 8,}and tlhe side members 21 of the auxiliary frames are providedintheir outer surfaces "with angular recesses 26 ;for the snug reception of the extended pert ons and the ribslQof the strips 17. 5 Asthe strips 17 extend across the meeting faces of the side membersof the "9," and asthe extended portions and theflribsfli) of the strips are embedded in the outer-V faees of the side members oftheframe 9 a water and air tigh co ne ion is e b i ed; betwe the side members of; the frames."

' The auxiliary frames 9are. .mov'able. into and out of position in the'm'ain frames 8 about vertical axes, the side members 11 of the main frames-.8 being wide enouglrto permit the auxiliary frames 9 to be Swil -1g into I closed or openedpositionwithout interference from the sash guidingstrips of the window frame 1. The auxiliaryframesfi are heldin the main frames :8 suitable fastenersi 27 which are carried by; the "latter for movementinto and out of engagement with the former. I i .R I

The upper sash 6 is shorter than {the l'ower sash 5, and. the window frame 1 has its top bar 2 provided with the vertical offset portions 3 and 4, in orderto arrange theauxiliary frame '9 of the upper sash fully below the lowersash whenthe former is fully lowered and the latter. fully raised, and thusenable frame 1 contacts with theinner "and 'outer faces and extend'across the meeting'faces of the frame members 12 and 22 of the-upper sash, and the inner portion of the sill -1 of the window frame contacts with the inner faces of and extends across the meeting faces of'the frame members 13 and 23 of the lower sash, all .as clearly shown in Figure .2. It will thus .beseen that a wind and water proof connection .is provided for the horizontal frame members of the sashes fas well as for the vertical frame members of thesashes. cured in fully closed position by ailatch28, and thelower sash is provided with alift129.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, it will beapparentthatthe-auxiliary frame .of each sash may be easily andquickly swung into the room and that the inwardly swung auxiliary frame may becleanediina eompara tive'ly short time, in a comparativel ,easy

applied to the framesv conveniently andla't small .cost. 7 4 s v v WVhile I have described theprincipleof operation of the invention, together with the device which I now consider to ,be the best'embodiment thereof, I desire to have it understood that the device shown is merely illustrative, and that such changesfmay be made w-hen desired as are within the scopeof the invention and claimed. 7 YVhatIclaimis: In a window construction, a sliding, window sash comprising. an outer frame including side rails and upper and lower metal; straps bridging the upper andlower ends of the side rails having oppositely extending right angularly disposed feet imbedded in the outer faces of the rails and flush therewith, aswinging inner glass panel carrying-flame received in the outer frame, hinges connecting one side of the inner frame to one side rail of;theouter frame, stop strips securedtothe outer side faces of the side rail-sand extending inwardly of the same and in the path of movement of the innerframe for limiting the swinging The sashes are adapted to bsemovement thereof in one direction, the inner swingmg frame having the outer side faces thereof provided with longitudinally extending gr0oves, V-shape ribs on the outerlongitu- V dinal edges of the stop strips for reception in the grooves when the swinging frame is in,

abutting engagement with the stop strips, and

latches carried by the side rails of theouter 7' frame for engaging the inner faces of the inner swinging frame to hold the same against movement in abutting engagement with said stop strips.

In testlmony whereof I afiix my signature.
